Shab Row Tea Emporium

"Love Tea Emporium! I only drink Teas & Water and they have the Largest selection you can possibly find AFAIK in the Frederick area. They have straight herbals like Chamomile (my favorite, very fluffy fresh flowers! So much better than the stuff you find in grocery stores), Hibiscus, Lemongrass, Gotu kola. As well as an absolutely HUGE selection of blends for a variety of needs, flavors, and preferences. Have not gotten to try any of them but i do plan on trying one of their sleep teas (as you can tell by the herbals I mentioned, i love sedating teas). I was actually going through a pretty rough withdrawal from benzodiazepines after my doctor stopped practicing and asked the staff what tea blends or herbs she recommended with sedation / anticonvulsant / calming / relaxing properties to help the hellish feelings I was experiencing and she happily helped me out and get what I needed without any judgement, or sideways looks and got me just what i needed besides the ones I had already previously researched for the withdrawals. Such a nice spirit and gave me hope to keep fighting! I know i probably looked like a WRECK going in there, sweaty and anxiety on 100 but the staffs calm no rush laid back presence really helped calm down my panicky feelings and heart racing I unfortunately feel when I am in public. Justsomething i have to live with but I always am thankful for Tea Emporium for the help getting me off the benzos and will be a life customer as long as I'm in the area!"

"Fantastic shop with exquisite tea collection and accessories for brewing. You can smell all of their teas in their test section of the store. The price was very reasonable. The person who helped us at the store was patient with us and was friendly. I would definitely go back again to try out different teas!"

"I’ve now been here twice and it is worth the 40 minute drive! So far I’ve tried the French vanilla chai, the cherry roast green tea, the pear green tea, and a surprisingly amazing old bay tea (thank you to the worker who suggested putting honey in it!) all the tea have been amazing. The customer service has been fantastic, and the atmosphere is top notch! I cannot wait to go back and try more teas and products"

"Wonderful place to find an amazing selection of loose teas. What really sets this place apart is the knowledgeable and friendly staff who for us went above and beyond to help us find a combination of tease that we're both fruity and refreshing. I love the decor, the large selection of reasonably priced tea accessories including gravity-fed diffusers , tea pots and tea light teapot warmers.. Cute and quaint second floor offers a quiet Oasis to relax enjoy a hot cup of tea. I give the Shab Row Tea Emporium 5 stars!!"
